I always cringe when I hear someone complaining how America should provide some new entitlement to its citizens, using the argument that some other industrialized country does it. [Cue the patriotic music.] This is America, damn it, and we should be taking our own path. In our first 200 years we put a man on [...]

Temperatures in Southern California are back in the 80s.  The motorcycle is back on the road and the Lido Deck was singing its siren’s song.  Time for a pairing of beer and cigar. Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet, Magnum (6.0″ x 50) I went to my humidor with no particular stick or style in mind, but [...]

To paraphrase the milk ads, research has revealed that Beer Builds Better Bodies. A number of studies have found that small quantities of alcohol have health benefits, but it really didn’t matter whether it came from beer, wine or tequila.

The fine folks that brought us the Orange County Beer Festival last year were kind enough not to make us wait an entire year for a repeat.  The event was both magnificent and munificent last year, and in my review I suggested that any self-respecting beer drinker west of the Mississippi should plan on attending [...]

Great minds think alike.   Back in June, I wrote of the perfect convergence of beer and smoke when I teamed an Out of Bounds Stout, by Avery Brewing, with a God of Fire Robusto by Don Carlos.  I rated the Out of Bounds Stout a 9.6 on The Morris Scale — the highest ranking ever for a stout.  I [...]

After my recent hefeweizen shoot-out, where In Heat Wheat was the popular favorite, I thought I should pick up a couple more and make sure the conclusion was supported.  Yep; we were right.  That’s one really good hefeweizen. While enjoying my In Heat Wheat, I opened November’s Cigar of the Month Club shipment from Cigar.com.  The [...]
